Default Re: Cruise Ship Nursing
I dont know about Carnival ... I'm in the application process with Holland. They require 5 years current ER experience. I'm looking at their part time option .. it pays awful ($55/day) .. but is free transport for you and a guest can share your cabin for free. You are scheduled 1/3 days .. but on call the rest ... i have a friend that has done it for 9 years and she says it's about half/half whether you work on your days off .. so some trips feel like a break, some not so much.

what i've heard is that carnival has lower standards and less stringent requirements and even less pay (is that possible) .. but also more "fun and games" atmosphere.
